The State of the Union Address

1/1/2013

 
"[The President] shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such meas-ures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
-- Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution

George Washington delivered the first State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 1790 in New York City, which was the provisional U.S. capital city at the time. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson de-cided that delivering the address in person was too similar to what a king would do in a monarchy, so he submitted his address in writing, to be read by a clerk. This continued until 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson reinsti-tuted the practice of delivering it in person
.
The speech was actually referred to as "The President's Annual Message to Congress" up until 1934, when President Franklin D. Roose-velt used the phrase "State of the Union".
Some interesting facts about the State of the Union Address:

 Calvin Coolidge's 1923 speech was the first to be broadcast on radio.
 Harry S Truman's 1947 address was the first to be broadcast on television.
 Lyndon Johnson's 1965 address was the first delivered at night.
 His 1968 was the first to be broadcast without a time limit imposed by television networks.
 Ronald Reagan was the only President to postpone the address (due to the Challenger shuttle disaster).
 Bill Clinton's 1997 address was the first broadcast live on the internet.
